In 1994, I took a lot of heat for this speech warning that the American middle class was in danger. That was 29 years ago this week. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

This should serve as a reminder that Trump's entire presidential candidacy was based on a lie — the myth that he was a successful businessman rather than an over-leveraged charlatan who drove his businesses into bankruptcy multiple times.

Prior to 1982, the SEC considered stock buybacks to be illegal stock manipulation. But under President Reagan, stock buybacks were made legal. Now, instead of investing profits into people, big corporations use them to line the pockets of wealthy shareholders. They're a scam.

Mondelez shrunk family size Wheat Thins from 16 ounces to 14 ounces but kept the price the same. The company pulled the same stunt with Oreos — shrinking family size packs by 6%. In Q3 2023, Mondelez reported a gross profit increase of $648 million. Hello?

Corporations like Kellogg's are using inflation to justify massive price hikes, but are then using their boosted profits to buy back shares of their own stock. It’s a scam that transfers wealth from the wallets of working people into the pockets of CEOs and shareholders.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged for the rich. We need a federal wealth tax. Now.

Trump says if he weren’t running for president none of the criminal cases against him would be going on. Hmmm. How about testing that hypothesis? Just drop out of the race.

Project 2025 now has plans to implement ‘Christian nationalism’ in a Trump second term. Brace yourself for a far-right religious agenda including everything from killing sex education to ending no-fault divorce. They’re literally coming for the separation of church and state.
